Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Philadelphia Flyers (NHL)
7:05 PM EST Tampa Bay Lightning Premium Pick
Play Title: Play Selected: Money Line: -105
Analysis: Jakub Voracek and Wayne Simmonds have combined for six goals and two assists in the past three meetings against the Lightning (19-10-3), but the Flyers have lost all of them as part of a 1-8-0 stretch in the series. Ben Bishop suffered a lower-body injury that forced him to leave Monday’s 4-2 loss at Pittsburgh after the first period. If he’s unable to go, the Lightning would turn to Evgeni Nabokov, who stopped 18 of 21 shots in relief against the Penguins. He’s 6-1-0 with a tie in nine career games in Philadelphia, making 33 saves in a 4-3 shootout win for the New York Islanders on March 28, 2013. Steven Stamkos’ 17 goals tie him with St. Louis’ Vladimir Tarasenko for third in the NHL, but he’s scored only once with one assist in the past five games after collecting 10 points over the prior seven. He has 16 goals and nine assists in 21 career meetings with the Flyers, notching eight and four, respectively, in the past seven. Look for the Tampa Bay Lightening to turn it around in this spot against a Philadelphia Flyer team that is On the improve. Take Tampa Bay for a 500* Play.
